Tues 21 July: Car issues and proposals

It seems like all my hassles with the traffic cops have been laid side with the old TIP, full of its stamps. The new crisp clean paper indicates I have only been here two weeks, and a new visitor to Zimbabwe is treated so differently to the one being stopped two weeks ago. Maybe they thought I was overstaying my welcome or something! Today I was stopped and proposed to by the traffic cop – how lovely! Although I was glad I had my papers back and foot on the accelerator as I refused. You never know what is going to happen on the way to work.
